Last, Shoe

Description

Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The shoe last has a round toe, from which the height of the last increases toward the instep and plateaus at the top, where there is a carved inscription. From the top the heel curve extends 2 3/8" to the seat. The seat's sides curve to form the waist and are widest at the joint before tapering to the toe. Below the top is a through-hole 5/16" in diameter. The sole has numerous nail holes which are concentrated along the outline of the sides.
